The rich stepmother brought her son to the variety show again ~ Chapter 34 Raging

(T/L NOTE: Everyone thank the buyers of {90+} chapters, that you got to read these bonus chapters!)

Today’s recording was not as long as last week’s because it was the first day outdoors, and it took a long time just for the guests to arrive.

  From the moment Chu Rong appeared on the stage, Fu Ruhui’s eyes were fixed on Chu Rong’s every move. No one could disguise the details of limbs and expressions perfectly. This kind of live broadcast method, a true record from beginning to end, has various uncertain factors. When faced with uncertainty, people’s subconscious mind will not lie.

  He wanted to see if anyone would reveal any flaws in the details.

  It didn’t.

  When crossing the path, Chu Rong nervously put her hands behind Fu Yu, ready to catch the child at any time.

Chu Rong disliked the hot weather, and the taciturn Fu Nian would hand her his kettle and fan her with his hat; when Fu Yu saw small wild flowers on the roadside, he would excitedly share them with Chu Rong and ask her what flowers they were one by one.

  No matter how you look at it, their relationship is very good.

  Chu Rong was smiling like a flower on the screen. After Fu Ruhui glanced at her indifferently, his gaze unconsciously stayed on her face.

  It seemed like he hadn’t seen Chu Rong smile like this for a long time.

  As he watched, the corners of Fu Ruhui’s mouth curled up slightly.

  It was not until Chu Rong and the others drew lots that things began to develop in the direction that Kong Sa had just mentioned. Fu Ruhui saw Chu Rong roll up her trouser legs heroically and step into the water. A splash of water appeared on the surface of the lake, and large and small water droplets flew onto Chu Rong and the faces of Fu Nian and Fu Yu who were squatting on the shore.

  Fu Ruhui’s eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Fu Nian and Fu Yu’s reactions.

  Fu Yu wrinkled his nose and shook his head, rubbing his face with his little hands like a puppy that fell into the water.

  Fu Nian wiped the water droplets from the tip of his nose, bit his lip and smiled.

  Chu Rong burst into laughter upon seeing this.

  Fu Ruhui looked dazed.

  This scene was exactly the same as he had imagined in his previous life. Chu Rong was a little naughty at heart and liked to tease children; Fu Nian seldom expressed his emotions, but was very tolerant towards people he cared about; Fu Yu had been very well protected by him and Fu Nian since he was in his cradle. If nothing unexpected had happened, he would have been like he is now, innocent to the point of being a little silly, like a carefree puppy.

  Fu Ruhui had a gentle expression as he watched Chu Rong catching fish in the water while teasing the children on the shore. Then Chu Rong invited Fu Nian to go into the water with her. Fu Ruhui couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this. Fu Nian was rarely willing to try new things, or rather, he was too cautious. He would remain a little reserved about things he had never tried, and would take that step slowly after testing them.

  But now, Fu Nian actually offered to go into the water to help Chu Rong catch fish.

  This was an unexpected point for Fu Ruhui, who thought he understood Fu Nian.

  Fu Ruhui was almost immersed in this beauty, but suddenly a person appeared, breaking the harmonious picture.

  ”Niannian, don’t go down.”

  A strange-looking woman grabbed Fu Nian’s hand, and Fu Ruhui and Fu Nian in the camera frowned in sync.

  After Fu Nian refused, the woman still pestered him relentlessly. Fu Ruhui’s gaze gradually changed, because he actually found some familiar feelings from this woman he had never seen before. For a moment, he couldn’t remember where he had seen such an expression, way of speaking, tone and intonation, but Fu Ruhui’s intuition would not deceive him. His brows were frowned more and more, and the more he thought about it, the stronger the pain in his forehead became.

  Fu Ruhui had no choice but to look away and put this person aside.

  After a while, Chu Rong had already caught four fish. Seeing her barefoot and clumsily adjusting her clothes on the shore, Fu Ruhui couldn’t help but smile.

  But when Fu Ruhui saw that Chu Rong had to live in the Skyview Room mentioned on the phone today because she didn’t catch enough fish, his smile disappeared.

  Only when he actually saw the dilapidated house did Fu Ruhui realize that his imagination was too narrow.

  This can’t even be called a ‘room’, it’s just a few walls made of mud.

  Fu Ruhui was thinking, how should they live here?

  To his surprise, Chu Rong and Fu Nian and Fu Yu were not worried about this problem.

  ”Wow, Mom, this house is so cool.” As soon as he entered, Fu Yu walked around the small house curiously, opening his arms and fluttering like a bird, “There’s wind blowing!”

  Chu Rong put down her backpack, fell directly on the bed, and sighed: “Ah, comfortable.”

  Fu Nian looked at her for a while, then took off his shoes and climbed onto the high earthen bed.

  Fu Ruhui watched Chu Rong and the other two lying on the bed filled with hay, laughing and playing for a long time, without any sign of discomfort at all.

  Fu Ruhui began to wonder if it was his own problem. Perhaps boys were not that fragile?

  Looking at the mother and her two children chattering about some childish topics on the bed, Fu Ruhui leaned back slightly.

  The moonlight was bright, and the stars were sparse. The shot ended here, without including the part where Chu Rong called him.

  After watching the live broadcast recording that lasted more than seven hours, the time for Fu Ruhui turned from afternoon to late night. He rubbed his sore eyebrows, and his eyes, which were overused, felt a little dry.

  The live version of this program is really too long. No one will stay in front of the screen for the whole day. The difference in traffic in a day is too huge. The people who made this program really don’t know what is the appropriate amount of detail and omission.

  Fu Ruhui, who did not miss a single scene, slowly put the plugged-in tablet aside. From today’s content, Chu Rong did not do anything terrible to Fu Nian and Fu Yu as she did in her previous life. On the contrary, Fu Nian and Fu Yu really liked being with Chu Rong.

  Is the development of this life different from that of the previous life?

  Fu Ruhui lowered his head and closed his eyes. Memories of what he saw after returning home in his previous life and the live broadcast footage he had just watched came to his mind again. The two completely different fragments repelled each other in his mind and fought fiercely. The good and the bad news overlapped and blurred each other, one scene of heaven, the other scene of hell.

  The laughing Chu Rong and the resentful Chu Rong kept playing like a slide show.

  Just when Fu Ruhui was about to lose track of what was real and what was fake, his cell phone rang.

  As if he had found an opportunity to extricate himself from his emotions, Fu Ruhui raised his head and picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table. It was an email.

  The email he logged into his phone was his own.

  In other words, it is most likely sent by an acquaintance.

  But when his eyes fell on the sender’s name, Fu Ruhui’s eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.

  This name was the name of the “evidence” that was sent to him in his previous life.

  It’s here again.

  Fu Ruhui was somewhat reluctant to open the email. Everything he was experiencing now was completely different from his previous life, but this name still came to him like a curse. Fu Ruhui was not sure if it would bring him news of his wife abusing their children like in his previous life.

But escaping is not Fu Ruhui’s character, nor is it a way to solve the problem.

  Since it dares to publish it, Fu Ruhui dares to read it.

  He pursed his lips and opened the email quickly.

  The email was a compressed package. Fu Ruhui waited patiently for the package to be downloaded. After decompressing it, what came into view was a high-definition picture.

  In the picture, Chu Rong was wearing an ankle-length nightgown, with her hands raised high and her eyebrows raised. On the ground, Fu Nian held Fu Yu in his arms, and the two brothers hugged each other tightly, as if drawing some strength from each other.

  Fu Ruhui took just one look and then closed his eyes tightly.

  He roughly knew what the following photos looked like. After taking a deep breath, Fu Ruhui scrolled back. There were no more photos of Chu Rong directly attacking Fu Nian and Fu Yu. There were only some solo photos of Fu Nian and Fu Yu. They were either sleeping in a dirty storage room or wolfing down a piece of bread. They did not have the injuries from their previous life, but their eyes were full of fear and panic, and it was obvious that they felt threatened.

  The cell phone fell on the quilt, and Fu Ruhui calmed his increasingly rapid breathing.

  Was it Chu Rong? Was it her who did it?

  If it happened again, even if the facts were clearly printed on the photo and even if he had experienced it once in his previous life, Fu Ruhui still couldn’t believe it.

  His Chu Rong could never be that kind of person.

  But what happened is what happened, Fu Ruhui will not believe these photos, but he will not dispel his doubts about Chu Rong. He regretted too many things in his last life, and Fu Ruhui cannot repeat the same mistakes.

  There were still more than six hours before his flight in the morning. Fu Ruhui wanted to resolve the doubts in his heart, so he had to go back to China to see for himself. Whether it was photos or videos, Fu Ruhui could not completely believe them.

  This time, he wanted to ask Chu Rong why, and ask all the questions that he didn’t have the chance to ask in his previous life.

  As for the sender of this email, Fu Ruhui will check it carefully this time.

  The moon is like a hook in the deep night. The summer nights in the countryside are too quiet, so the sound of insects is particularly loud.

  Chu Rong fell asleep very late at night. The temperature difference between day and night was still quite large. She couldn’t stand it after walking outside for a while. She returned to the shabby house dejectedly. The warm air instantly enveloped her.

  It seems that a small house has its advantages.

  Fu Nian and Fu Yu fell asleep together like two kittens. Chu Rong lay down beside them and put her arms around the kittens to sleep together.

  In the morning, Chu Rong was awakened by the chattering of Fu Nian and Fu Yu. The two children thought they were talking very quietly, but Chu Rong was sleeping next to them, and the small house was only that big. The chattering never stopped, and Chu Rong woke up no matter how soundly she slept.

  ”Why are you guys up so early?” Chu Rong was still sleepy, her body was sore and weak. She stretched lazily and asked vaguely, “What time is it?”

  Fu Yu sat in front of Chu Rong, tilting his head to look at her, “Mom, aren’t you feeling bad?”

  ”Hmm?” Chu Rong rubbed her eyes, “I feel a little uncomfortable. I haven’t woken up yet.”

  Fu Nian came over and touched Chu Rong’s forehead, “You have a fever, don’t you feel it?”

  ”What?”

  Chu Rong was surprised, “I haven’t had a fever in a hundred years!” She said in disbelief, “Young man, check again!”

  Fu Nian said helplessly: “Your face is very red.”

  Fu Yu nodded and said, “Yes, mom. It’s as red as an apple candy!” This child used the word very precisely, probably because apples can be green, but he had only seen red apple candies.

  Chu Rong touched her face and said, “It’s a little hot.”

  Fu Nian said: “Go find a doctor.”

  Chu Rong exhaled a breath of hot air. It turned out that the lack of strength in her body was not because she was still sleepy.

  ”Okay, there should be a clinic in the village.” Chu Rong got up and stood on the ground with a dazed head. She felt like she was stepping on a ball of cotton. “Oh my god, I think I really have a fever.”

  Fu Nian pulled out the coat that Chu Rong had been using as a cushion all night and asked Chu Rong to put it on. Hearing Chu Rong mumbling to herself, he was somewhat speechless, “Could it still be fake?”

  Just as he was leaving the house, he ran into a staff member who came to wake Chu Rong and the others up. Chu Rong immediately said, “I’m sick. Please take me to the infirmary.”

  The staff was stunned.

  Chu Rong then added: “Maybe I need to take a good rest today.”

  Hehe, Chu Rong used illness as an excuse to openly avoid the mission. She felt like she was back in her student days when she was willing to catch a cold in order to skip school. Unfortunately, she didn’t get sick at that time no matter how hard she tried. Now she is so old, she can get a fever so easily.

  ”Okay.” Seeing Chu Rong’s red cheeks, the staff member hurriedly took her to the health room.

  When going to the health room, Fu Nian and Fu Yu followed Chu Rong closely, holding kettles and towels, and happened to run into Shu Yuan’s family who had just got up and were walking out.

  Because there was only one road between the health room and the program assembly venue, Chu Rong and his friends had just come from the program assembly venue and naturally met Shu Yuan and the other two who were coming out of the health room.

  ”Oh, Miss Chu.” Hao Hanyun hugged Shu Yan, who was yawning, and greeted Chu Rong enthusiastically.

  Chu Rong was infected by Shu Yan and yawned, “Morning.”

  ”Where are you going?” Hao Hanyun glanced at Fu Nian who was carrying the bag with a smile, “Niannian, why are you carrying such a big bag? Aren’t you tired?”

  Fu Nian’s pocket was filled with their towels, which were not heavy, but just a bit bulging. He shook his head when he heard Hao Hanyun’s question.

  ”Wow, that’s great.” Hao Hanyun praised generously, “Much better than our Yanyan.”

  Shu Yan, who was yawning all the time, pouted unhappily when her aunt mentioned her name, “Aunt, I’m also very capable.”

  Shu Yuan, who didn’t like to talk much, glanced at Hao Hanyun and said, “Let’s go.”

  Hao Hanyun curled her lips and said, “Then we’ll go over first, Miss Chu.” Chu Rong did not answer her question, and it was obvious that she didn’t care.

After a few polite words, Hao Hanyun and her companions left.

  They all tacitly did not mention yesterday’s team formation. Chu Rong did not ask why Hao Hanyun also stayed in the infirmary, nor was she angry about why they could let Chu Rong complete the task alone with peace of mind. Chu Rong was not so childish. She just narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Shu Yuan’s rosy complexion, smiled contentedly, and no one knew what she was thinking.

  When she went to the clinic, there was only one person in a loose white coat, who must be the doctor. The doctor was tidying up the wrinkled bunk bed, and when she saw another patient, she thought it was another of these frail celebrities taking up the bed. As soon as she raised her head with disdain, the doctor’s expression changed from disdain to astonishment.

  ”Oh my God, little girl, why are you so feverish?” The doctor patted the newly made bed, “Come and lie down, I’ll take your temperature.”

  Chu Rong was stunned for a moment before she realized that the word “girl” was referring to her. Was this the Qibapo dialect?

  She walked over and lay down as the doctor instructed.

  The doctor inserted a thermometer into Chu Rong’s armpit. The cold touch touched the hot skin, and the strong contrast made Chu Rong so cold that she couldn’t help but hiss.

  Fu Nian and Fu Yu looked over nervously, “Does it hurt?”

  Chu Rong smiled and said, “No, it’s just a little cold.”

  Fu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, and brought two small wooden stools on his own, one for himself and one for Fu Yu, and sat down next to Chu Rong’s bed.

  The doctor bent over to look for a medicine bottle in the box, his fat body a little clumsy, “Is this your baby?”

  Chu Rong nodded gently, “Yes.”

  The doctor smiled and said, “I thought you were just in high school. Now you have a baby. Your baby looks just like you. He’s so pretty…”

  Chu Rong has heard people say more than once that Fu Nian and Fu Yu look like her. She didn’t mind when children said that before, as it’s hard to tell whether they look alike from children. But she didn’t expect that this elder who looked to be in her forties also thought they looked alike. She couldn’t help but wonder, if the doctor knew that she was not Fu Nian and Fu Yu’s biological mother at all, how would she feel about her words?

  ”Oh my, 39.4 degrees.” The doctor took out the thermometer, “It’s so high.”

  Chu Rong was also shocked, “So high?”

  Fu Nian also took a deep breath and looked at the doctor nervously.

  ”Give you two injections.” The doctor took out a medicine bottle, “and then apply two fever-reducing patches later.”

  Chu Rong nodded and thought. She had such a high fever, but except for a heavy head and dizziness, the other symptoms were just so-so. She didn’t feel any discomfort.

  If the doctor hadn’t told her how high her temperature was, she might still be able to run and jump. Chu Rong thought happily, her body was indeed strong. If a normal person had such a high fever, they would definitely be unconscious.

  Fu Nian was already anxious, and when he saw Chu Rong was actually smiling, he nervously asked the doctor, “Auntie Doctor, is my mother’s brain unclear due to the fever?”

  Because he was too anxious, Fu Nian didn’t pay much attention to his wording. Chu Rong heard it and couldn’t help but said, “I’m super sober, okay.”

  She thought she spoke very clearly, but in fact, that was just her subconscious. In the ears of Fu Nian and Fu Yu, Chu Rong just muttered a few unclear words. This was too much, the situation was getting worse and worse.

  Fu Yu opened his mouth wide and whispered, “Mom? Are you talking?”

  Chu Rong could hear it, and she nodded dazedly, “No.”

  Fu Nian opened his eyes wide and became even more nervous: “Auntie Doctor!”

  The doctor prepared the injection, “Here, here, it’s okay.” She held the needle in one hand and pulled down Chu Rong’s pants at the waist with the other hand, revealing a little skin on his buttocks. She quickly and accurately inserted the needle into Chu Rong’s body, and the medicine in the syringe was slowly pushed in. Chu Rong groaned twice.

  The antipyretic injection was still a little painful, but Chu Rong didn’t have the strength to struggle. She mumbled a few words drowsily and slowly fell asleep under the effect of the medicine.

  ”Mom, it hurts so much.” Fu Yu bit his fingers and was a little scared when he saw the long needle.

  The doctor smiled and said, “You are all adults, why are you in pain?”

  ”Adults feel pain too.” Fu Yu stretched out his little hand and wiped the tears from Chu Rong’s eyelashes, “Mom is crying because of the pain.”

  ”Those are physiological tears, not real crying.” The doctor took care of the needle and said, “Okay, I’ll find two fever-reducing patches later. Your mother will have to take fever-reducing medicine when she wakes up.”

  Fu Nian stood up and tucked Chu Rong in, then asked, “When will she wake up?”

  ”That’s hard to say.” The doctor searched through boxes and cupboards for a fever-reducing patch, muttering, “I haven’t seen a fever like this in a long time. Hey, it’s really rare…”

  Fu Nian: “…”
